he regulary gets 4 or 5 goals a game against me?...iv tried man marking him..injuring him..etc..he just scores for fun
People saying he's overrated... Top scorer in L1 last year and 16 goals 10 assists this year, not exactly bad for his first season.
Nah. Let's get real here. First, I like Olivier Giroud a lot, his hair as well. I've followed Ligue 1 (Allez OL) for several years now, and sure Giroud was very impressive in the past two seasons with Montpellier, especially last year. I agree that he's a complete attacker, and a natural goalscorer, which is a quite rare skill in today's football. But Ligue 1 is miles apart from Prem, and for that high a level his abilities are pretty limited. That's why he doesn't get much starts for France either, although they really don't have an international-level forward at the moment (Karim is sadly really off his form). So I would be very surprised to see your prophecy fulfilled next season, although if Benzema is equally lost, France may have to go into Brazil with Giroud as their neuf.This. He's not overrated at all, he's a good technical player (like most french players) and he can use every part of his body to score. For your first season in a struggling club, 16 and 10 is pretty good considering he was playing alongside someone who had a point to prove and a contract to negotiate, which generally makes a person get serious goaleye. (Walcott)
Next season he'll shine properly, after adjusting to the pyshical side of the english game vs the french.
His hair is also awesome.

And just to point out that those 16 goals are in all competitions, and Arsenal a struggling club?? Michu has 16 goals in the Prem this season, but oh yeah, Swans won a cup...
Out of interest, who apart from Giroud in the Arsenal squad would you say is over-rated?I think its more a case of other Arsenal players being overrated by the researcher, and the FM version of Wenger splashing unrealistic amounts of cash
